01 — About
Talent is everywhere.
Access is not.
Cameroon has one of the most ambitious young workforces on the continent — graduates, technicians, creatives and traders ready to build. What is missing is not capability. It is the connection between that capability and the employers looking for it.
Yehni exists to close that gap. We are building a single, trusted place where youths discover real opportunities, present themselves professionally, and get hired — while employers reach verified talent without the noise. We will also provide training programs for youths to upgrade their skills. This platform will have a point based system where applicants given points according to their qualification and employment drafts can be done by the government and private companies.
“Yehni is a native Cameroonian word which means "TO LEARN". Every young person deserves a right to learn the skills for their dream job”
The Yehni Principle
The Challenge
Opportunity is fragmented
Jobs are scattered across group chats, notice boards and expired listings. Serious openings never reach the people best suited to fill them.
The Challenge
Trust is expensive
Fraudulent postings and paid “placements” cost young applicants money and confidence before an interview is ever offered.
The Challenge
Experience is invisible
Skills built through apprenticeships, informal work and self-teaching rarely fit the CV formats employers screen for.
The Challenge
Employers lose time
Recruiters sift hundreds of unfiltered applications to find a handful of genuinely qualified, genuinely available candidates.
02 — Platform
What we are building
A complete hiring corridor — from the first profile a young person creates to the contract they sign.
Curated Job Matching
Roles matched to skill, location and availability — not endless feeds. Every listing is reviewed before it reaches a candidate.
Verified Employers
Businesses are checked before they can post. No listing fees charged to applicants — ever. Trust is a product feature, not a promise.
Professional Profiles
Build a structured CV in minutes — including apprenticeships, informal experience and practical skills that standard formats overlook.
Skills & Readiness
Short, practical modules on interviewing, workplace conduct and applications — built for first-time entrants to the formal market.
Built Mobile-First
Lightweight, low-data and usable on the phones people actually own. Apply from anywhere, on any connection.
Employer Dashboard
Post a role, filter serious applicants, and manage the pipeline from shortlist to offer in one clear workspace.
03 — Process
Three steps from profile to placement
No agents. No placement fees. No hidden intermediaries between a young person and the employer who wants to hire them.
01
Create your profile
Sign up in minutes and build a professional profile that captures your education, training and real-world experience.
02
Get matched
Receive openings from verified employers that fit your skills, your city and the kind of work you are actually looking for.
03
Interview & get hired
Apply directly, track every application in one place, and walk into your interview prepared — with the offer coming straight to you.
04 — Leadership
The founding team
Built by people who know the market they are serving — because they came through it. We are members of the KOICA Youth Leadership program 2026. For our second assignment we identified the problem and didn't just sit back. We have decided to use the "LEAN STARTUP MODEL", by building an MVP that solves one of the roots of the unemployment problem.
Gerard

Daniel E.
